    Dunno, but it certainly looks like there is somethin' peekin' up over that 3, doesn't it.

    Doesn't match the Briggs diagnostic but it probably is a 1853/854. You should also see some doubling of the right arrow shaft which does appear in your photo.

    Can you post the entire coin...perhaps someone can make the call then.
    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    That is not the 1853/4 die. Could you try a few more photos with a bit more light? That one is a bit out of focus.
